Oh, my. All sorts of wonderful mayhem and madness visit the town where all are welcome—the saints, the sinners, the damned.
A stranger arrives with a little girl he rescued, Deputy Mutt deals with an old nemesis, Snake Man. Sheriff Jon Highfather gets a message from a dead man, via the stranger. Mayor Pratt finally must choose who he loves, and Auggie becomes a father of an innocent baby boy. Of course, all these various and sundry folk can’t just flip a card or a coin to choose. They must go through hell and highwater and even then, they aren’t all that sure. Are they?
And the Natives are not only restless, they’ve found a shaman who can bring the spirits of dead Natives back to life? How do you kill a spirit? One way, I suppose is to bring Allen Pinkerton in with a secret weapon built to spec by Thomas Edison. In the meantime, those Natives are able to kill with almost impunity.
In the background of all the normal, everyday mayhem of Golgotha, the slumbering evil locked under Agent Mine, is hungry, and restless, and wants out. NOW. Will Golgotha ever bee civilized? I hope not. It’s too much fun like it is.
As I reached the end of this book, I realized everything had been taken care of, handled correctly, but the ending of this series left an unlocked door. An open door, actually. And yes, Books 5 and 6 are in the mill.
These books will go on the shelf with those of Ann Bishop and Patricia Briggs. Fortunately, I’m confident they will all play well together.
